>>There's now a script in contrib called trailer.pl. It goes to the Apple
website and searches for trailers. Works pretty well, although there's
some room for improvement. (I tried to download 109 trailers using IMDB
numbers pulled from the database and got 78 of them with the script. I
was able to manually download 20 of them, several of which were missed
due to small differences in Apple's pages. The rest seem to be
unavailable from Apple.)
By default the script simply outputs the URL, but there are a couple
lines at the end that can be uncommented to have the script download the
video (and name it using the IMDB number).
